Fermionic quantum computation with Cooper pair splitters

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Kostas Vilkelis, Antonio Manesco, Juan Daniel Torres Luna, Sebastian Miles, Michael Wimmer | Summary: We propose a practical implementation of a universal quantum computer that uses local fermionic modes (LFM) rather than qubits. The device layout consists of quantum dots tunnel coupled by a hybrid superconducting island […]

Amplifying Non-Resonant Production of Dark Sector Particles in Scattering Dominance Regime

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Mingxuan Du, Jia Liu, Xiao-Ping Wang, Tianhao Wu, | Summary: We investigate the enhancement of dark sector particle production within the scattering dominant regime. These particles typically exhibit a slight mixing with Standard Model particles through various portals, allowing for their generation through in-medium oscillation from Standard […]

Phonon-Dressed Third-Harmonic Generation in Diamond

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Moses | First 5 Authors: Jiaoyang Zheng, Guru Khalsa, Jeffrey Moses, , | Summary: We demonstrate a strong, elastic, frequency-upshifting optical polarizability that accompanies sum-frequency driving of Raman phonons and two-photon absorption, extending the duality of structural and optical property modification recently observed in light-driven phononics. The effect, phonon-dressed third-harmonic generation (THG), […]

Phonon-Mediated Third-Harmonic Generation in Diamond

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Moses | First 5 Authors: Jiaoyang Zheng, Guru Khalsa, Jeffrey Moses, , | Summary: We observe strongly anisotropic third-harmonic generation mediated by resonant sum-frequency driving of Raman phonons with THz light, extending light-induced dual control of structural and optical properties in solids. Either strong enhancement or strong suppression of the third harmonic […]

The mechanism of Gαq regulation of PLCβ3-catalyzed PIP2 hydrolysis.

Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: Maria Elizabeth Falzone and Roderick MacKinnon | Summary: PLCβ enzymes cleave PIP2 producing IP3 and DAG. PIP2 modulates the function of many ion channels, while IP3 and DAG regulate intracellular Ca2+ levels and protein phosphorylation by protein kinase C, respectively. PLCb enzymes are under the control of GPCR signaling […]

Effort cost of reaching prompts vigor reduction in older adults

Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Erik M. Summerside, Robert J Courter, Reza Shadmehr and Alaa A. Ahmed | Summary: As people age, they move slower. Is age-related reduction in vigor a reflection of a reduced valuation of reward by the brain, or a consequence of increased effort costs by the muscles? Here, we quantified […]
